WELLFLEET -- A North Eastham woman was killed this morning in a three-vehicle crash on Route 6, according to Wellfleet police Lt. Michael Hurley.

Wende Harrison, 54, was driving a Cape Cab minivan south on the two-lane road near Kerouach Road when her taxi veered into the northbound lane, striking a truck owned by R.W. Townsend & Sons and a GMC Sierra pickup truck, Hurley said.

Two people from one of the struck vehicles and one person from the other struck vehicle were taken to Cape Cod Hospital in Hyannis, Hurley said.

Harrison was pronounced dead at the scene, Hurley said. The people taken to the hospital did not have life-threatening injuries, Wellfleet Fire Chief Richard Pauley Jr. said.

Cape Cab owner Raphael Richter said this afternoon he would release a statement but not right away out of concern for the driver's family.

Rescuers were called at around 8:30 a.m. to the crash scene. Route 6 was closed in both directions for about four hours. As of 12:30 p.m., police had reopened the northbound lane of Route 6 but the southbound lane of the road near the crash site remained closed as a crane was needed to lift the truck onto a flatbed tow truck and debris needed to be cleared.

The vehicles involved included a commercial tree-cutting vehicle, according to Pauley and a Cape Cod Times photographer at the scene.

Traffic was diverted around the crash scene, via School Street, Main Street and Briar Lane, Pauley said. The accident remains under investigation, Hurley said.
